"""Automatic context window compression for long conversations.

Self-contained class with its own OpenAI client for summarization.
Uses auxiliary model (cheap/fast) to summarize middle turns while
protecting head and tail context.

Improvements over v2:
  - Structured summary template with Resolved/Pending question tracking
  - Filter-safe summarizer preamble that treats prior turns as source material
  - Historical (reference-only) section headings replace "Next Steps"/"Remaining Work" to avoid reading as active instructions
  - Clear separator when summary merges into tail message
  - Iterative summary updates (preserves info across multiple compactions)
  - Token-budget tail protection instead of fixed message count
  - Tool output pruning before LLM summarization (cheap pre-pass)
  - Scaled summary budget (proportional to compressed content)
  - Richer tool call/result detail in summarizer input

    Never raises: models sometimes emit non-string argument values (bool,
    int, None) and the args here come from persisted session history, so a
    single malformed historical call must not crash compression — which
    retries on the same history and would crash-loop. Individual branches
    coerce the values they slice/measure (keeping summaries informative);
    this wrapper is the backstop for anything they miss.

        through this method rather than ``on_session_reset()`` (/new, /reset).
        The original fix (#38788) only cleared ``_previous_summary``, but the
        same cross-session contamination risk applies to every per-session
        variable that ``on_session_reset()`` clears: stale
        ``_ineffective_compression_count`` can suppress compression in a
        subsequent live session; ``_summary_failure_cooldown_until`` can block
        summary generation; ``_last_compress_aborted`` can make callers think
        compression is still aborted; ``_last_aux_model_failure_*`` can surface
        stale error warnings; ``_last_summary_dropped_count`` /
        ``_last_summary_fallback_used`` can produce misleading user warnings.

        ``compress()`` already guards ``_previous_summary`` leakage at the
        point of use; this is defense-in-depth that resets the full per-session
        surface the moment the owning session ends.

        Runs the Phase-1 prune (``_prune_old_tool_results``) WITHOUT the
        compression summary phase, gated on ``proactive_prune_tokens`` rather
        than the (much higher) full-compression threshold. On large-window
        models ``should_compress()`` (≈50% of the window) rarely fires, so old
        tool outputs otherwise ride in history and are re-sent verbatim on every
        subsequent turn; this reclaims them early with no quality-risky LLM
        summarization.

        Protects the recent tail by message COUNT (``protect_last_n``), never by
        ``tail_token_budget`` — the latter is derived from the 50% compression
        threshold (≈100K tokens on a 1M window) and would protect the entire
        session, pruning nothing.

        ``_prune_old_tool_results`` runs all three deterministic passes:
        (1) dedup byte-identical tool results — keeps the newest full copy and
        back-references older exact duplicates ANYWHERE in the list (including
        the protected tail), so no unique content is ever lost; (2) summarize
        non-tail tool results larger than ``min_prune_chars``; (3) truncate
        oversized tool_call arguments on non-tail assistant messages. Only
        pass (2)'s floor is raised by ``proactive_prune_min_result_chars``;
        passes (1) and (3) keep their own fixed floors. The recent-tail
        protection applies to passes (2) and (3); pass (1) is tail-agnostic by
        design because dedup is lossless.

        PROMPT-CACHE CONTRACT: a committed prune rewrites message bodies the
        provider has already seen, invalidating the cached prefix from the
        earliest rewritten message forward — exactly like a compression
        boundary. To keep that break episodic rather than per-turn, the prune
        only COMMITS when the estimated reclaim meets
        ``proactive_prune_min_reclaim_tokens`` (measured on the actual pruned
        output, not guessed up front). Below the gate the INPUT list object is
        returned unchanged — the standard no-op caller contract (callers gate
        bookkeeping on ``result is not input``).

        Returns ``(messages, 0)`` — the input object — when disabled, below
        the trigger, or when the reclaim gate rejects the commit.

## Goal
Recovered from a deterministic fallback because the LLM context summarizer was unavailable. Continue from the protected recent messages after this summary and use current file/system state for exact details.{previous_summary_note}

## Constraints & Preferences
- This fallback was generated locally without an LLM summary call.
- Secrets and credentials were redacted before preservation.
- The summary may be incomplete; prefer verifying current files, git state, processes, and test results instead of assuming omitted details.

## Completed Actions
{chr(10).join(completed) if completed else "None recoverable from compacted turns."}

## Active State
Unknown from deterministic fallback. Inspect current repository/session state if needed.

## Blocked
{_bullets(blockers, limit=5)}

## Key Decisions
None recoverable from deterministic fallback.

## Resolved Questions
None recoverable from deterministic fallback.

## Relevant Files
{_bullets(relevant_files, limit=12)}

## Last Dropped Turns
{_bullets(last_dropped_turns, limit=8)}

## Critical Context
Summary generation was unavailable, so this is a best-effort deterministic fallback for {len(turns_to_summarize)} compacted message(s).{reason_text}"""

        groups together.  If the last user message ends up in the *compressed*

        messages *after* the summary — so the task effectively disappears from
        the active context, causing the agent to stall, repeat completed work,
        or silently drop the user's latest request.

        turn-pair: the user lands in the compressed region without its
        assistant reply, so the summariser records it as a pending ask and
        the next session re-executes the already-completed task.  When this

        pruning — i.e. BEFORE any summary-abort early return. An aborted
        compression can therefore still hand back a modified list (echoes
